Grade 1/2B
In our wonderful grade of 1/2Bs, we have 23 students. We are 1 of 2 classes of 1/2s at Bayles Regional Primary School for 2019.
Students have settled in beautifully to our grade. They are all individual personalities that shine through. We follow a classroom motto of ‘Throw kindness around like confetti’ which all students have taken on board. They love to help others and show acceptance of everyone.
We are lucky enough to be next door in order to work closely with the other 1/2 class in many learning areas. This has greatly assisted our students to become more independent of their daily routine and working alongside different students. They have developed social and emotional skills, enabling them to problem solve in all situations. These skills are also reflected in our Resilience Project Program that the students participate in.
We use Jolly Phonics as a part of our Literacy program to effectively learn the art of reading and writing. It has made a huge difference to their knowledge of the English language through proven fun and multi-sensory synthetic phonics. Our Reading structure follows the CAFÉ and Daily 5 program.
Our Numeracy program consists of one hour of Maths per day. We use maths groups that explicitly teach students their skills that they require at their mathematical level. Once a week, students are engaged in our Maths Program called ‘Maths Ninjas’ which assists students with mental maths computation.
Students are also immersed in a range of extra-curricular activities throughout the week. These include; MARC Van, Physical Education, Art, Performing Arts and AUSLAN.
